President Obama has showed no clear strategy for Iraq and as he continues to falter, Iraq continues to be overrun by ISIS.
On Monday the President said his top national security advisers were still working to set up training plans for Iraqi defense forces to battle ISIS per CNN.He said:
We don’t yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitment on the part of the Iraqi’s.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Republicans quickly noticed the President didn’t have a plan and they seized the opportunity to point it out. The Republican National Committee said:
The Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman, John McCain (AZ-R) attacked Obama on the Senate floor Monday as well. He said the lack of strategy is alarming:What has President Obama been doing for the last ten months?
While ISIS goes from house to house in Ramadi with lists of names and they execute people and they kill 3-year-old children, and they burn their bodies in the streets and the atrocities in Syria continue as Bashar Assad barrel bombs innocent men, women and children.
One can wonder, one has to wonder, whether the President just wants to wait out the next year and a half and basically do nothing to stop this genocide, bloodletting, horrible things that are happening throughout the Middle East.
Last year in August, President Obama said he was still devising a way to fight ISIS. I guess it hasn’t been figured out yet.
Obama also said on Monday:
We want to get more Iraqi security forces trained, fresh, well equipped, and focused. We’re reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that, essentially accelerating the number of Iraqi forces that are properly trained and equipped and have a focused strategy and good leadership.
Essentially, he is passing the blame and does not want to deal with it.
